Overview

Croton Road is located in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, just north of Lake Powell. It is a great overland route option to connect the town of Escalante, Utah (SW of Capitol Reef National Park) to the Lake Powell/Glen Canyon Dam area. This trail will provide you with many scenic spots of the entire Grand Staircase-Escalante area, staying above most of the amazing terrain surrounding you. To the north of this trail is Hole in the Rock Trail which has some amazing features such as Devils Garden and Zebra Slot Wash, which you can connect to Left Hand Collet Road, an amazing wash trail, and finally end up on NP 230, which is a connector to the legendary Alstrom Point.
